Taxandria inundata is a species of shrub in the Myrtaceae family that is endemic to an area along the south western coast of Western Australia. [1]
The shrub can grow to a height of approximately 2 metres (7 ft). It blooms from January to June producing white flowers. Found in water-logged low-lying areas, swamps and lake margins in the South West region of Western Australia where it grows in peaty sandy or clay soils. [1]
